Thanks for the help! I tried it, and I managed to run the games i tested, without using splitting.

Then, I tried the splitting, on Crusader of Centy, NTSC rom .. and you know what happened?

I loaded the game into the MGH, and it starts the game "produces by or under blalbalbla Sega" .. and after "For use with NTSC Genesis only" . That's not good.

Do you have any problems running PAL only roms?

And what about the SNES-gaming? I just renamed some 8 mbit roms into sfxxxx and tried them on the MGH, and they both worked. But then.. I tried splitting Secret of Mana. First, the rom was Super Wildcard format, then I converted it into Multi Game doctor II, and split it with UCON.

I got 2 files:

sfmana_a
sfmana_b

great, I thought, and copied them both to a diskette, and tried running it. Nothing happened, all black.

Something else, that's wierd, is that both roms I tried on the SNES (Atraiser and Addams family) that worked, are NTSC. Hmmm

Any help?
